FREE Guide: 6 Fibonacci Types that Create the Most Precise Price Levels, Targets, and Reversal Zones

FOMC Day = Volatility!

Last FOMC Day ES initially spiked down 60 points, spiked up 90 points, then plunged 155 points all in the 2hrs after the FOMC statement. Be prepared for similar today starting at 2pm EDT... before then anticipate choppy sideways price action.
 
FOMC days can be notoriously the toughest sessions to trade. They are often unpredictable, random, volatile, and trappy.  On these days, my focus is entirely on reacting to price levels/plan, and in particular staying out when in doubt. Quite literally anything can happen, and traders need to be prepared for all outcomes.
 
Ultimately, the media seems to find narratives that conveniently ride along to fit... but is it news or technical analysis?

During days/weeks like this it can be best to zoom out and trade only higher time frame levels ie. 4hr, daily, even weekly levels.
